Can high temperature make GPU unstable?

[PATENT]

Two weeks ago when weather was colder I could run my GTX 1070 whole day on 2.1GHz. Now it's so damn hot it's hard to survive without cold drinks and fan set on max speed next to you... I can't get 2.1ghz now because temperature is dropping clocks but after GPU reaches 74 degrees artifacts starts to show up and game usually crashes after temp reaches 76-77 degrees (on stock I get 70 degrees max). Below 74 degrees games works fine, no artifacts, no sutter. Can really high temperature make overclocked GPU unstable?

Yes temperatures have an effect on the stability of the chip. Increase the voltage or lower the clocks.

Before you worry about underclocking or tweaks, just keeping the poor thing moderately clean will make a huge difference. The great enemy, of course, is dust. It builds up astonishingly quickly and will absolutely knacker the ability of components like fans and heat sinks to keep things cool.

If you’ve de-dusted properly and still got this issue, some other tips might help you:

PS:
Some people just get rid of the side panel during the hot weather period...

what kind of 1070 do you have? i have an asus strix version and during cold weather it doesnt get more than 50 or so and now during hot weather its 62 degrees max.

Well I have 32 degrees in my room so inside PC case there's a hell, I have also 7700K which runs at 75 degrees on stock frequency

I'm thinking about taking off my side panel but componets would get dusty in few days

Actually I'll just take side panel off, I have compressor in the garage so I will just blow out the dust later. I'm unable to OC anything, CPU sometimes hitting 80 degrees on 4.5ghz etc. I hate summer...

I get 90 C on my laptop GPU and CPU. It doesnt feel like its burning

Pascal gets unstable with high overclocks above 65c, so yes it does matter. I have a 1080 Ti @ 2100 mhz and even in a custom water loop, some games can get it up to 65c sometimes, and if that happens the driver will crash. But as long as I keep it under 65c it's fine, 60-62 is good. Most games it's only 48c - 50c though. It's only 1 or 2 titles that actually heat it up really high. But only when overclocking. If I was to drop it down to 1900 mhz instead of 2100 mhz, it wouldn't do that. I can run it up to 80c just fine without crashing (back when it was on air cooling) @ 1900 mhz and no issues.

took off side panel, now getting around 60 degrees on CPU and 66 on GPU

The GPU artifacts at 74? Mine can get to that temp safely and not artifact. My CPU even gets to 81 degrees.

If It gets so hot, some programs will crash and freezing and sttutering will affect your game.

Get some programs.

Burning? Your laptop wil shut down before it catches fire.

Yes once the hardware reaches a certain temperature it will start throttling which reduces clockspeed. But this doesn't have any meaningful impact on your performance until it is genuinely overheating and it needs to pretect itself from damage.

These are a few programs which can do that.

You're probably also not overclocking yours to 2100 mhz. As I said in my above post, temperatures on pascal (nvidia 1000 series) only effect stability when you're overclocking them pretty far.

Thank you.

Personally I prefer MSI Afterburner which can display cpu temperatures and gpu temperatures and a lot more in-depth video card information all in one window (After you configure it in settings).

MSI afterburner is also fine. But I usually don't recommend it for hardware monitoring because it is not the most user friendly application.

No, it doesnt catch fire and i play 10 hours gaming
